Dental Crowns in Miami

Helping Patients Achieve a Smile They are Proud to Show Off

Are you looking for a dental crown specialist in Miami? Crowns for teeth
are prescribed when a tooth or teeth are too badly decayed, broken or
cracked to be easily restored with a filling. A tooth crown is normally
needed for teeth that have had root canals. Crowns are also placed on
dental implants to replace missing teeth. Crowns costs vary and can be
made entirely of gold or porcelain fused to a gold substrate or all-ceramic,
porcelain crowns for strength and beauty.

Types of Dental Crowns

There are several types of crowns available today from the old, traditional
gold and porcelain fused to metal (PFM) crowns to the newer all-porcelain
ceramic crowns. Gold and PFM crowns were the standard for many years due
to their strength and predictability. However, in the last 20 years, there
have been incredible advancements in dental materials. New types of ceramic
crowns have been made that mimic natural tooth structure AND provide strength
and predictability. These beautiful, esthetic crowns can be used for front
teeth, back teeth or placed over implants providing implant crowns that
look like natural teeth. Today’s all porcelain dental crowns are
an excellent choice for almost all types of situations.

Placing Dental Crowns

Crowns are prescribed for damaged, decayed, or broken teeth. A full crown
or a partial crown can be made to restore only the damaged part of the
tooth. Partial crowns are more conservative because they help retain the
healthy parts of the tooth. The crown procedure is as follows: Anesthetic
is usually placed first. Then the tooth is reduced eliminating any decayed
or damaged portion. The tooth is then further reduced to allow for proper
placement and esthetics of the crown. Once the tooth is prepared, an impression is taken.

At Biscayne Dental & Facial Aesthetics, Dr. Julio Hernandez and his
Miami dental care team use a state-of-the-art digital impression system.
This technology eliminates the need for traditional impressions and allows
the digital impression to be emailed to the lab directly. The accuracy
of a digital impression is far better than a traditional impression making
the fit of the crown more accurate and the delivery appointment more predictable.

After the impression, a temporary crown is made and temporarily cemented
to the tooth. The patient is then scheduled for a second appointment to
deliver the crown. At this appointment, the crown is tried in to verify
the accuracy of the fit. Dr. Julio’s staff will take an x-ray of
the tooth at this stage to verify that the crown is properly seated. Once
approved by the doctor, the dental crown is shown to the patient for final
approval before cementation. Finally, Dr. Julio Hernandez will determine
which cement or bonding material best suits this tooth. The crown is cemented,
the bite adjusted and the care instructions are given to the patient.

Crowns restore natural beauty and health of teeth. Designing a crown that
fits well, functions properly and looks like the adjacent teeth require
excellent coordination by the doctor and his staff and the dental laboratory
which makes the restoration. Because there are many types of crowns on
the market and many laboratories which make them, it is up to the expertise
of the dentist to choose the right crown and work with the right laboratory
for your specific situation.

Financing Your Dental Care

The cost of a crown for a tooth can be expensive. Unfortunately, this is
one of those situations where you get what you pay for. To reduce the
cost of a crown, the dentist would have to select an inexpensive material,
work with an inexpensive lab, use inexpensive cement and do the procedure
as quickly as possible to reduce the amount spent by the patient. When
it comes to your health, and the health of your teeth, you should know
what you’re paying for. A cheaper crown today could cost you a lot
more money in the future if the crown is done improperly. Therefore, the
cost of the crown is determined by the quality of the work.

At Biscayne Dental & Facial Aesthetics, Dr. Julio and his team follow
rigorous protocols to select the right materials for the patient. In addition,
we work with a few select dental labs to assure top quality crown fabrication.
